Good thing I read your second comment first. No, Collins insisted on someone who was black to play Rue and Thorn (or the guy who is the other one from that district). There was some annoyance at who was cast as Katniss - people felt the character was darker and more ethnic in the books - but I think Lawrence is a good choice.
The only choice I was uncertain about is Woody Harrleson as Haymitch (for some reason I saw ASH in my head the whole time in the role, I think someone on my flist mentioned him in passing fitting the role and it stuck)
I want Helen Mirren for the female headhoncho in Mockinjay. And Alan Cummings to play the sensitive older winner in Catching Fire. But I'd be shocked if they cast either. Haven't seen Wes Bently since Rushmore.
